Support Bike Parks Calgary and Win a Chromag Monk
Bike Parks Calgary is a not for profit organization bringing an outdoor bike park to Calgary, Alberta. With the help of donors we want to supply the city with a premier facility. Not only will the be an amazing resource for Albertans but an attraction for riders from all corners of the country and beyond.
Our goal is to secure the needed funds for our project and break ground in 2015! Plans have been laid out, all that is missing is the funding and support to implement Phase 1 of the construction process. We are raffling off a 2014 Chromag Monk Frame and an Overature Saddle autographed by Brandon Semenuk courtesy of NRG Enterprises to help get started as a fun way kick things off! Although the entire park will cost approximately $950,000.00 to complete, we can build in phases as the funds become available. We are also working on corporate funding and grant sources to achieve our goal. Every dollar we receive goes toward the building of the park and every dollar helps!
Plans for new Calgary Bikepark.

If you're in the Calgary area on February 13th we will be holding a movie night at the plaza theatre. One of the most epic mountain bike movies of all time, NWD 4, will be playing and possibly some Calgary classics. There will be tons of beer, prizing, and good times to be had by all bikers in the area. We want the community to get together, get stoked and realize how many people this park would benefit. Our biggest challenge is gaining visible support from the cycling community and others. We are always looking for help from those that are interested, to find donors, funding sources, and members to help bring this project to life. As funds become available, we will face many challenges in development, planning and maintaining our park. All of which we can overcome with commitment, passion and support!
By becoming a member of Bike Parks Calgary and talking to others, you can help spread the word, engage interested parties, and show Calgary that the demand for this park is real! Remember to use Indiegogo share tool and tell everyone!

This is fantastic. I would love a place where I could take the kids to rip around on a small pump track. I could sneak away and get some laps in on a more advanced one...
The city badly needs a home for cyclocross racing. The scene is pretty large. One limitation is that the races are run on city park land, and they will fine the organizers if the grass is damaged. That means that races get cancelled half of the time due to rain or threat of rain. If we have a dedicated area we can better manage this situation and even perform maintenance ourselves (the clubs) as needed to make sure it stays the way we want it... Mud is part of real cyclocross racing.
Country trails be fairly advanced?
